LEADING THE PACK
Cesar Millan, world-renowned dog whisperer, has a successful show calledCesar Millan Image "Cesar's Way" or "The Dog Whisperer", in which, Cesar trains dog owners to be the "leader of the pack."  Cesar has 4 criteria for a dog owner to be a successful "leader of the pack."  These qualities include:
  • Calm
  • Confident
  • Assertive
  • Reliable
                                                                           The Calm and Assertive Leader of the Pack

Do you think these qualities can apply to leaders in business? Do you know a leader with the above qualities? Aren't his/her employees loyal and productive?
EXERCISE
 I invite you to look at these 4 qualities and rate yourself with a scale of 1 to 10.  Pick a challenging situation this week and make a decision to enter the conversation/situation in calmness.  Then, you can tell me how it went.
